Well, if you're a drug addict in opiate withdrawal (a position I had often found myself in), you really only want one thing in the world: make the goddamn hurting stop. So you don't generally think things through beyond 1) getting the drug, and 2) taking the drug. Oh, the plans TO get the drug and take the drug will often be as elaborate as Ocean's Eleven, but there is seldom an exit strategy.

Maybe it'll work out for him: he gets one last hit and (hopefully) gets fastracked into some sort of treatment program.

it's funny that Kentucky worked on the scourge of clean, well-labled drugs in favor of black market dope in a recent article - it's almost like it's better to see people suffer no matter how cheap their fix...

//hey you - naloxone guy - you trying to be the devil? Cause i'd rather be water boarded than hooked on anything strong and given that - i think about it like the modern torture capabilities you never hear about

Oxy is not heroin. It was synthesized to (purposely) not get you as high.

Yup. And not as addictive as people say. I stopped cold turkey and had no problems. bad pain made me start taking them again, and I only take about 2 a day instead of 5 now.

I took it for a few days after I had four wisdom teeth removed. Thing is, going cold-turkey after 3 days was really depressing, but not train-spotting crazy. When the pain came back, even after three days, it was still bad enough I took aspirin like candy.

First off, the nature of addiction to opiates is highly predicated on the particular number and type of receptors you have in your brain - if you don't have the wiring, you won't have the same response.

Second, if you were taking 5 a day, you weren't an addict... addicts take 5 at a time.

Prey4reign:snuff3r: I'd like to think this was a cry for help but I'm pretty he's just a dumbass.

Even dumbasses can make cries for help. The little junkie could have done society a favor by taking enough oxys to die.

look at you. that is someones son, someones brother. what happened to you that you turned into such a heartless turd? you were so sweet when you were little. now you think its funny to talk trash on the computer. tell Mom she did a great job raising you but you decided to suck instead.

Nib:oxy is just as addictive as heroin and is actually a better high to me personally.

I did heroin once, and I didnt like it at all. I sat there and nodded in and out of a stupor on a buddy's couch for awhile, it was quite uneventful and didnt leave me with a desire to ever try it again. I probably could achieve the same effects with a pack of OTC sleeping pills from the 99c store. I didnt like Norcos or Vicodins markedly either.

The only opiate I did ever like is a muscle relaxer called Soma. Its not fuhk-you-up strong enough to gumby you out of reality, but all that wonderful opiate warmth is still ever present. I could definitely find myself becoming addicted to the muscle relaxant opiate, I had to stop the pill nonsense when I found myself waking up chewing up 2 on an empty stomach...
